PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (Change in PTSD Symptoms) |
PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 is the most current version of the PTSD Check List (PCL), the gold standard of PTSD symptom assessments. Its 20-items use a 5-point Likert scale (0-not at all to 4-extremely) that maps on to the diagnostic criteria outlined in the DSM-5. The PCL-5 is appropriate for both clinical and research purposes and is recommended for monitoring symptom change. The PCL-5 is summed to create a total score with a possible range of 0 to 80. A score of 31-33 or higher is indicative of a provisional diagnosis of PTSD and preliminary validation has established that a 10 point change is clinically significant. |
